Nazi and Psychiatrist. A Fateful Meeting on the Eve of Nuremberg
Hurry! Only 0 Left in Stock!
The name of Douglas Kelley might have remained known only within narrow medical circles, but history decided otherwise, throwing him into the epicenter of one of the most high-profile cases of the 20th century. Kelley was appointed the chief psychiatrist of the Nuremberg Trials, where he assessed the sanity of 22 Nazi prisoners who were about to stand before the tribunal for the atrocities committed by the Third Reich.
The central theme of the book is a unique battle of minds, in which the psychiatrist confronted Hermann Göring and which ultimately left a mark on the life and death of each of them. Readers will also be revealed important details of the trial and the biographies of the accused, as well as profound questions that arose for Kelley during and after diagnosing Göring, Hess, Rosenberg, Ribbentrop, Keitel, and others. What united the defendants? Did they all have mental disorders and innate tendencies toward cruelty? And most importantly — does a "Nazi psychotype" really exist, or could anyone become a Nazi under certain conditions?
